Well, my wife and I watch Wheel every day (sometimes recorded), but Ryan Seacrest has successfully taken all of the 'fun' out of the show. The garish backgrounds are almost unwatchable and he is about as boring as they come. He makes it so obvious that someone is telling him about the letters in his earpiece -- Pat at least made it seem like he was figuring it out. Vanna is great, but even she can't make Ryan Seacrest interesting -- he should stick to co-hosting with Kelly Ripa or New Year's Eve . . .
He even steals Pat's lines like after the first letter of the final puzzle, yet makes them seem boring and not like commentary. Get Mike Richards or someone with a sense of humor. (and a less fake smile)
